I liked that we came up with concrete answers then we had to prove that it worked in abstract situations

When tasked with an open-ended question students will be more likely to come up with creative solutions.

During the 3 dot activity we had to go back and forth between concrete pictoral and abstract.

Also the websites allowed for abstract thinking with the fancy websites.

During large group discussion smaller groups had to justify answers not just only the computation

We were asked to deconstruct the question/problem, understand the key information,

and then represent the information and abstractly in tables, graphs, and or equations.

We thought about the reasonablness of our soltuions and what those quantaties mean in

real world situations.

I liked how the problem went between the concrete and abstract. The relevance in the problem provided the personal connection to be able to think through the problem.

The question is open ended. The question is not scaffolded for them. How they find solutions is completly free form. group disscussions help students share their thinking process and allows them to think about the problem from various points of views.

both were done & quantitative was far easier than abstraction as i was wondering about the level of abstraction--would i be satisfied w/something intuitive

I can think about numbers in many ways!
